I rewatched Re-Kan today. Other than the ugly yellow subtitles that I couldn't change on my DVD copy, it was just as good as I remembered! Amami Hibiki can see ghosts, but it isn't a horror series like Mieruko-chan. Instead it's a feel-good comedy with plenty of heartfelt moments while dealing with the ghosts. I'm usually a big fan of these cute slice-of-life shows that have a supernatural aspect, and Re-Kan is one of my favorites. Amami is just so genuinely kind that watching her ghostly misadventures is a pleasure. Some of the side characters aren't the most memorable, but none of them drag it down except for Yamada's cop brother who creeps on high school girls. Thankfully he isn't around very much. Otherwise it's just her friends and fun ghosts, plus a perverted cat. I don't usually like pervert characters but turning that archetype into a cat only Amami can understand makes it great somehow.

One of the best parts is her best friend Inoue, though. She's absolutely terrified of ghosts, and seeing her freak out all the time always makes me laugh. One of the best parts of Re-Kan is searching scenes for Inoue cowering in the background. You'd think it would get old but this is my second time through and I still love it!
